Thanks for this. My grandad left me tons of fishing gear to me when he died 12 years ago. I've only started to want to go back fishing and couldn't set a rod up properly. Now I can. Thanks a lot
I absolutely love float fishing and make pretty much all my own, from peacock, sarkanda Reed and balsa. Have caught Tench to 8 lb, Carp to over 20,big Perch, all on float, its a fantastic method.
An idea I adopted years ago when I needed to make up my pole rigs. As an early starter You cant really see in the dark so making pole rigs this way saves time and effort. Nice video.
There are also waggler floats that have a different weight indication, right? So the question is: what waggler WEIGHT do i need for still water fishing? And how about fishing in a slow running brook? And maybe some other conditions that are possible? Can you please explain that? (So, I mean: what WAGGLER WEIGHT is used in those conditions?) Can you please explain? Thank you.
Never actually went float fishing more of a fly and ocean fisherman but this was very informative and I want to try float fishing off to tackle shop tomorrow.
funny how different country have different practices and everybody say its their way or it doesn't work. for a quick laught: the Japanese started a trend of only fishing with a lead weight with a hook directly attached to it. no paint, no lure no bait nothing. they fish trout that way, one of the supposedly most notorious fish for not liking bait because of colors and stuff.
Only thing I would say is, avoid the clear plastic floats. They tend to split easily and fill up with water which ( obviously )makes your float sink, I buy solid plastic or balsa floats...or I even go old school and use a porcupine float.
Clive Bindley . Hi well I have been using Drennan Crystal wagglers since they came out and have never had a problem. I think Drennan must have the polymer mix just right and the wall thickness correct. I have had problems with other makes splitting, the walls seemed very thin, cost savings maybe? The other thing is you can rattle them around in a tube with other floats with no problem with varnish/paint splitting etc. Based on my usage and plenty of others I will always recommend them. However I am well aware that plenty of anglers are traditionalist and prefer balsa,elderpith,peacock quill, cork etc and that is an individual decision, after all we all have different angles on fishing. Plenty of anglers still make floats and there are some craftsmen among them but I stand by my recommendation. Tight Lines
I know a guy who worked at a BB factory just take take them and he got over 10 thousand in 2 days then he quit 2 days later. He did it with the hook factory too 😂😂😂

Or, as I do, have a pair of nail clippers, and nibble away if too heave, it was easier when it was the lead shot years ago
Good video nice explanation. I see you've made a number of good tutorial vids for fishing as well as actual fishing videos i've subscribed cheers.
you helped me thank you
Great video fella
Cheers bud, Helped me out a lot
hi - totally new to this.... Why does it matter that it floats HIGH. Why add the extra weight?
Bite sensitivity
That's a lot of fannying around, just buy a loaded float. Great Videos
i'm sure 8mm won't make a difference lol. If the fish want's to bit it will bite. Done it many years

No hook description. What's a rig if it dont have a hook

Holy hell, you make this look so complicated! The weight is on the float, simples!
Idiot.
